Early start achieved, we got away by around 9.20 into a nice
bright day and much more traffic than we are used to! Our plan was to call in to
Terry’s Mum at Navenby for lunch then head home, which is effectively what we
did. Only two small holdups and we made good time arriving at Mums at exactly
1.00 p.m.
A pleasant couple of hours and then back onto the road for
the final leg. We won’t go into the boredom of it, except to say that about
halfway home the van, having performed perfectly for the last 3 months, decided
to get the hiccups! Occasional hesitation and then the advisory engine warning
light came on, but we kept going and eventually it seemed to clear itself
although the light didn’t go out until we were at home.
A quick comfort stop at Washington services and we arrived
home about 6.40 p.m. after refuelling at Tesco as, unsurprisingly, the fuel
warning light illuminated with about 5 miles to go! Having invested in modern
technology the house was nice and warm so a quick cuppa then take out what we
needed for the evening – we’ll leave emptying out completely tomorrow.
And so endeth the 2016 Snowbirding trip!
